CHAPEL

2011-12

Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to come together each Wednesday morning when students are on campus to worship God together and to reflect as a Christian community on contemporary issues. These worship times include singing, prayer and reflections on Scripture. Chapel participation is encouraged for all students and employees.

Chapels are each Wednesday while students are on campus from 11-11:40 AM.

Stealing the Story

Aaron Baart

Whether watching Superman or reading Harry Potter, every story is a reflection, a derivative, of the one true story. The fingerprint of God is so embedded in each of us that whether we know the name of Jesus or not, his story is the source of our being.

Joining the Light Shining in the Dark

Aaron Baart

In the lowest point of Israel’s history, during the Babylonian captivity, Jeremiah tells the people not to merely wait for their freedom but that their prosperity is now intricately tied to their captors’ prosperity. What does this mean for us, living in our own Babylon?

Extreme Home Makeover: Chapel Edition

Aaron Baart

Well-intentioned attempts to interpret and apply the longing for good within humanity manifest themselves all around us. But what is the difference between good and God? Does a social gospel make our witness more social and less Gospel? Let’s see.

Aaron Baart & Giovanni Romano

Christians in several cities have opened or at least volunteered at and advocated for safe injection sites for heroin addicts. But does this take the idea of incarnational ministry too far? We’ll talk with a recovering heroin addict and find out.

The Christian Pro-Life Witness

Aaron Baart & Jan Turner

We talk with Jan Turner, Director of the Cherish Center about engaging the pro-life conversation from a consistent Christian manner, protecting the lives of the unborn while respecting and loving those forced to make hard decisions.

Secular Prophets

Aaron Baart

From Metallica to Lady Gaga, in music and throughout popular culture, different voices make strong calls back to Biblical faithfulness, even if they don’t count the Bible as authoritative or Jesus as Lord. What is being said through these voices and is it God saying it?

The Light in Our Own Darkness

Aaron Baart

John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness but the darkness has not understood it.” If we are ever to be effective ministers of the Gospel or apologists for our faith in the world, we need to first come to terms with the darkness inside ourselves before we can ever help others. How?
